medication abortion

Texas lawmakers approved legislation, House Bill 7, allowing private citizens to sue manufacturers, distributors, and providers of abortion-inducing drugs, including mail-order pills, for at least $100,000 in damages. The bill aims to restrict access to medication abortion by creating a private right of action and has been described as a potential model for other states seeking to curb abortion access.

Buckle Bunnies Fund kept operating in Texas while other abortion funds shut down thanks to its nontraditional structure, dedicated volunteers, and a willingness to accept legal risks.

A group of anti-abortion organizations is suing the Federal Drug Administration over their initial approval of Mifepristone over two decades ago. If the lawsuit succeeds, pregnant people nationwide could lose access to medication abortions.

Texas already bans sending medication to induce abortion through the mail, but it's difficult to enforce. Will the legislature seek to further limit the medication's use by targeting those who take it?
